👇This is Ghouta according to the UNSC report and HRW pinpointed the launch spot immediately, right? ImageImage

The range was wrong and the "precisely ... bearing of 285°" was wrong too! The bearing was 136 +/- 2° and the range 2 - 2.5km. We can discuss every single impact but here is where the lines converge.

It is equally important to ask how a series of glaring errors could point to a barracks, of all places. HRW, any comment?

Nor could they figure out how to attach the necessary amount of explosives to a gas cylinder.
Any comment HRW? ImageImage

Here are two of them (by the use of the same valveless cylinder dropped on two towns) presented by the same guy: ImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 This "double attack" was also promoted by Bellingcat but so far no one can explain the buckets and undamage oxygen cylinders allegedly dropped from a helicopter. It's also unclear how to pressurize a cylinder without valve. Anyone? ImageImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 March 2015: A barrel bomb filled with R22 cylinders and potassium permanganate reportedly fell through a ventilation shaft. Strangely, the OPCW report makes this shaft twice as large, because otherwise the barrel would not have fit through it. ImageImageImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 In addition, the OPCW has never been able to explain what chemical reaction of R22 + potassium permanganate could lead to chlorine. Nor can it explain why hydrochloric acid should be filled into cylinders, which would have to be modified for this purpose. Image

Strangely enough, you see three doctors on it just standing around, taking pictures or giving interviews. Image
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 They even leave an alleged reanimation attempt to an inexperienced White Helmet. Only when the body threatens to fall to the ground do two of the doctors reach into the picture from behind the camera and immediately disappear again. ImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 One of these doctors is Dr. Tennari, who played this video footage to the UN exactly one month later, bringing Samatha Power to tears. (A detailed analysis of these scenes has been prepared by Swedish medical experts.) ImageImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 Fast forward: In Saraquib we find strangely deformed cylinders, whose deformation cannot possibly come from impacting a field. A broken valve is smeared with a pink plastic mass. Of course, this cylinder can neither be filled nor pressurized. Image
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 Much more troubling, however, is that soil samples around the cylinders were contaminated with sarin degradation products. However, sarin cannot possibly be dropped in yellow cylinders or mixed with chlorine.
Maybe the OPCW can explain why this fact didn't rang alarm bells?!
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 However, the OPCW was also not surprised that the SAMS doctor attributed sarin symptoms to all those affected, while these symptoms had apparently disappeared before the hair could dry.

Here is the alleged evidence. We see a small cylinder evenly covered with ice from all sides although the valve is completely missing. Auto-refrigeration should only ice the bottom side. Image
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 The scratches on the rocket motor are from the inertia of the fins sliding forward with force on impact. So this rocket motor was used before, but it is also not reusable. Therefore, one screw is brand new. The rust is not from chlorine.
Welcome to the world of Jaish al Islam. Image
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 A few days later, we see another alleged CW attack. An anonymous doctor claims that the symptoms are reminiscent of a nerve agent. The victims' shoes are found in the basement. The path is full of concrete dust, yet none of the victims have even a trace of dust on their feet. ImageImageImage
@xlenm @PiersRobinson1 @ScottLucas_EA @im_PULSE @RonanLTynan @MaryLouMcDonald @OPCW @amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights @Syria_Irl @valeriemhughes @simoncoveney @Mickcliff @cooper_m @TodaywithClaire @Colmogorman @MiriamOCal @BBC @Dalatrm @samibarrek @LenP91535865 For this, a blue White Helmet stretcher was found in front of the house and all the dead piled up in just two of six apartments. According to the White Helmets, all doors were open. Strangely enough, the flat at ground level was broken open and the victims did not have time. Image

@PiersRobinson1, I think you are wasting a lot of energy on a really stupid person. He decorates his account with the Douma4 and has no idea who kidnapped them. ImageImage
He maintains a cozy relationship with Scott Lucas, who in turn has a relationship with the Douma4 kidnappers, under the guise of a Salafist "think tank," of course. ImageImageImageImage
And so we find both united in cynical remarks about the Red Crescent that helped at Rukban Camp: twitter.com/search?lang=en… Image

Bellingcat cannot resist pushing one selective half-truth after another into their propaganda tube. This time it is a suddenly "leaked" letter from Arias (OPCW) that says absolutely nothing new except...
bellingcat.com/news/mena/2020…
It shows a very questionable and lax attitude of Arias to conclude from the presence of chlorine to the use of a weapon.
The chemistry / idea behind this letter has been known since Bellingcat's "No one bleaches a chandelier! article. And we have already chewed this through and through. But let us summarize it again.

Today 6 years ago the tragedy of #MH17 happened. Only minutes later, Russia was declared guilty. Since then, a battle of information has raged with little "evidence". One of the most convincing evidence is this photo, isn't it?
Based on this photo, the alleged launch site of a BUK missile was quickly found. First it was a burnt piece of grass at the western edge of the field, later Bellingcat moved its launch site to the tree, because the BUK tracks were supposedly visible there.
To consider the tracks as "BUK tracks" is questionable. They are located opposite a passageway to the neighbouring field and became first visible when the harvest had started on this neighbouring field. In 2015 the tracks disappeared, 2016 similar tracks were visible again.

@OPCW A look back how we got here:
Saraquib 4/29/2013: One of the first Sarin attacks allegedly by the SyAAF was carried out with plastic grenades, which were seen only days before in the hands of Al-Nusra in a Turkish-Syrian border town, where these fighters were trained + equipped.
@OPCW The filmed symptoms did not look like sarin, and an initial autopsy of the only fatality initially yielded nothing, although the Turkish laboratories searched specifically for sarin. Only a second autopsy revealed traces of sarin and the explanation was questionable.
@OPCW The only 'conclusive' evidence finally came from the French secret service, which received a (after 3000m fall) undamaged grenade from Al-Nusra. Unfortunately the x-ray shows that the fuse mechanism of this allegedly sarin-filled grenade was replaced.
